The thing I found most interesting was Shawn Michaels being involved in the MOTY almost every year yet not winning the wrestler of the year. I'll need to look back over the 2006 shows though because I can't bring myself to believe that Edge vs. Mick Foley, as fun as it was, was the best match of 2006. Even in WWE.

Shows how much of a disappointing year it was for big matches when a non-ppv with no stand-out matches was voted Best Event of 2010.
I think it says a lot about the UKFF when a high number of us got more enjoyment out of that show which brought back lots of guys from the 80's and 90's than we got from any of the WWE/TNA ppvs all year featuring the current talent.
Let the pigeons loose.

Thanks again, rick.

I'll need to look back over the 2006 shows though because I can't bring myself to believe that Edge vs. Mick Foley, as fun as it was, was the best match of 2006. Even in WWE.
It wasn't. IIRC it was actually a fairly controversial pick.
There was a lot of criticism about that match when it happened both at the time (WM XXII thread being one of the best that has ever been on here), then later on when it was winning MOTY (not just the thread itself but I remember On-Topic people mentioning that it shouldn't be winning it in other threads). I don't hate that match (I do think it was overrated, however) but I think what actually rubbed people up the wrong way/the problem seemed to be that the people who did like that match never really explained why whereas a lot of the guys who hated it spent a lot of time explaining themselves/drawing comparisons to other matches/etc. to explain why.
Another useless statistic for you but speaking of 2006, that was the only year in 2003-2009 that Michaels wasn't in the running (didn't make it to Poll Stage) for 'Best Pro-wrestler of the Year'.
If there is ever a UKFF Hall of Fame then Shawn Michaels, Doug Williams, Edge and Chris Jericho need to be the first names in there as 'UKFF's favourites' based on the number of things this forum has awarded them since those four have pretty much cleared up at the Awards year after year.

The thing I found most interesting was Shawn Michaels being involved in the MOTY almost every year yet not winning the wrestler of the year. I'll need to look back over the 2006 shows though because I can't bring myself to believe that Edge vs. Mick Foley, as fun as it was, was the best match of 2006. Even in WWE.
I really enjoy watching that match back, but I would have thought that either Kurt Angle/Undertaker (No Way Out) or Kurt Angle/Samoa Joe (Genesis) would have won for 2006.

Yeah, that's pretty cool.
That's what I meant when I said the statistics don't reflect my opinions.
Some 'Fun Facts':
The most interesting result to me is Eddie Guerrero being in (joint) Third Place in UKFF History considering he was only active for four of those years. If hed lived longer I think hed be right up there with Jericho/Edge/Williams and in fact would probably have taken some of Jerichos votes away.
Same with Benoit although to a lesser extent in that I think hed already peaked in terms of online popularity (i.e. I cant see him winning Wrestler of the Year again) but I can see him being in a few MOTYs.
Interestingly for all the moaning about various people on here over the years, fact is other than the above few people no one else has won more than one negative category over the years.
UKFFs favourite PPV is clearly WrestleMania, an event that has dominated these awards
The least favourite event appears to have been the (now deceased) WWE version of the Great American Bash with two Worst Event Awards out of the three years it ran
Eddie Guerrero is the only man so far to have won a British category, when he competed in the Best British Match of the Year (2002), and also have won one of the non-UK specific awards by being voted Pro-wrestler of the Year 2003
Meanwhile, KENTA & Marufuji are the only Japanese act to ever win one of the main awards for Tag Team of the Year 2004
Good feuds and matches often overlap but in fact the only Match of the Year that was also part of UKFFs Best Feud/Best Angle was Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit vs. Rey Misterio & Edge vs. Los Guerreros
Out of all the men to be voted Worst Wrestler of the Year Matt Hardy is the only one to have also won a positive award in the form of Best Feud 2007 (vs. MVP) something Buff Bagwell, Rob Terry, Braden Walker (Chris Harris), The Great Khali, Tyson Tomko, Nathan Jones & Kriss Sprules have yet to accomplish
The MMA version is Frank Mir who is the only man to have been in both the Best (2009) and Worst (2010) MMA Fights of the Year
By the same token, Tito Ortiz is the only person to have been named Worst MMA Fighter who was also in the Best MMA Fight of the Year
The All Rounder: Brock Lesnar is the only man so far to have won awards in both the MMA (Best Fighter of the Year 2008 & 2009) and Pro Wrestling (Breakout Star 2002) categories
1PW are the only British company in history to squeeze onto the winners board for the non-UK specific section when they presented what was voted the Worst Event of 2007
Kenta and Marafuji winning Tag Team of the Year on here seems like a long time ago now.

But how does their talent stack up against their competition?
In their professional opinions, the Packers clearly are still the class of the division. The Bears have the second best team, barely, over the Lions.
"It's going to be a real good division," one player personnel director said.
Four were given for a position group that was best in the division; three for second best; two for third best and one point for worst.
Here is how each team ranked at each position.
1. Packers (20); 2. Bears (13); 3. Lions (12); 4. Vikings (5);
Each of the five personnel men thought the Packers had the best quarterback, but they were split on who was second best. Three of them chose the Bears' Jay Cutler and two picked the Lions' Matthew Stafford.
Some of the pro-Cutler comments:
•"Stafford is gaining on Cutler, but Cutler gets the benefit of the doubt because he has done it more years in a row."
•"Stafford has Megatron (Calvin Johnson) to throw to, and just has to get it out to him. Cutler has had to make smart decisions and accurate throws on a consistent basis. He hasn't had the dominant receiving weapons until now."
And some pro-Stafford comments:
•"They are equally athletic in terms of escaping pressure, but Stafford is more accurate, and he has gotten it done without a running game."
•"Stafford won't make as many bad decisions."
Running backs
1. Vikings (20); 2. Bears (15); 3. Lions (9); 4. Packers (6).
The personnel men voted as if Adrian Peterson, who is coming off a knee injury, will be healthy and as capable as ever. Each of them had the Vikings best and the Bears second best. The only question was if the Lions or Packers are third.
The Lions have more talent, but Jahvid Best and Mikel Leshoure are coming off injuries and Leshoure is facing a two-game suspension.
"It seems you never are sure who is available for the Lions," one front office man said. "Who knows with that group?"
Wide receivers
1. Packers (19); 2. Lions (16); 3. Bears (10); 4. Vikings (5).
The acquisition of Brandon Marshall failed to move the Bears into the top two because the Packers and Lions both are stacked.
"Even with Marshall, the Bears receivers leave something to be desired," one scout said.
Another pro personnel man had a different take.
"If they had Johnny Knox healthy, the Bears would have a really strong receiver group," he said.
Despite the presence of Johnson for the Lions, probably football's best receiver, the Packers were given four of five first-place votes.
"The Packers have more depth than anyone," a personnel man said.
Tight ends
1. Lions (20); 2. Packers (14); 3. Vikings (11); 4. Bears (5).
The personnel men were unanimous that the Lions had the best group and the Bears the worst.
One said, "The top three in the division are almost a tie. The Bears group isn't as good."
Offensive lines
1. Packers (19); 2. Lions (16); 3. Vikings (8); 4. Bears (7).
"This position is where the talent falls off in the division," an assistant pro personnel director said.
Indeed, each of these lines has question marks. Even the Packers, who received four first-place votes, lost two starters and are not sure who their left tackle will be.
"Aaron Rodgers makes that line look good by getting rid of ball, but the run blocking is not impressive," one scout said.
Two of the five polled said they would not be surprised to see significant improvement in the Bears' offensive line.
"I really think it's a decent group of players that got a bad rap," the assistant director of pro personnel said.
Defensive lines
1. Lions (20); 2. Vikings (13); 3. Bears (12); 4. Packers (5).
Voters were split between the Vikings and Bears as to which team was second best, but each of the front office men had praise for the top three lines.
"If Chicago's young guy (Shea McClellin) comes through, the Bears can give Detroit a run," one pro personnel man said.
Another cited the need for Bears defensive linemen other than Julius Peppers to step up and make plays.
1. Bears (18); 2. Packers (15); 3. Lions (10); 4. Vikings (7).
Of the nine area graded (excluding special teams and coaching), the Bears scored highest here, and it was the only position in which the Bears were ranked first.
There were mixed opinions, however. The Packers and Lions linebackers each received a first place vote.
"Given the age of Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs, I'm not quite sure how to judge them," a personnel director said. "It's close between them and the Packers."
1. Packers (19); 2. Lions (15); 3. Bears (11); 4. Vikings (5).
There is more uncertainty here in the NFC North than at any other position. One front office man said he wouldn't be surprised if the rankings completely flipped during the season.
The Packers likely will use cornerback Charles Woodson at safety more this year, and the Vikings hope to start rookie Harrison Smith.
"Chris Conte and Major Wright are solid players for the Bears," one pro personnel man said. "They are smart, tough and can run. They might be limited in some areas of the passing game, but Chicago uses them well."
1. Packers (19); 2. Bears (15); 3. Vikings (11); 4. Lions (5).
The Packers came in first place even though Woodson likely will spend more time at safety and the team finished 32nd in pass defense last year, which does not say much about cornerback talent in the division. None of the NFC North teams were in the top 21 of pass defense.
The Bears received one first place vote.
"The Packers have better talent, but the Bears corners played better as a group," he said. "The Bears protected their corners better with that zone scheme, and eliminated big plays better than the Packers."
Special teams
1. Bears (19); 2. Packers (15); 3. Vikings (11); 4. Lions (5).
The Bears received four first-place votes. The man who placed them second cited the loss of Knox as a kick returner. Another scout voted the Bears first, but said he thought "their return game could fade."
1. Packers (19); 2. Bears (16); 3. Lions (10); 4. Vikings (5).
Every ballot was the same except one, in which a personnel assistant ranked the Bears first, ahead of the Packers.
His justification?
"Lovie Smith has had to deal with quarterback issues, job speculation and inconsistencies that Mike McCarthy has not," he said.
Another front office man voted the Bears staff second but said, "Lovie does a nice job. He is steady and that is a team that is well coached, well prepared and ready to play."
One more noted the Packers "took a shot losing Joe Philbin, but McCarthy can overcome it."
1. Packers (170); 2. Bears (141); 3. Lions (138); 4. Vikings (101).
What was impressive about the vote for the Packers is they finished first in six of 11 categories, including the two most would say are most important — quarterbacks and coaches.
The conclusion to draw is that as impressive as the Bears are on paper, they still are not the most impressive team in their division.

A couple of years ago I was "taking a break" from the world of the employed while "seeking a better opportunity." That sounds nice, doesn't it? As in voluntary? Anyway, I was only "on a break" for a few months and it really was a much-needed time of recharging and relaxation. I didn't craft much. (Yes, I'm using "craft" as as verb. I think the prevalence of words like "ginormous" in modern media still put me at the "literate" end of the pendulum. Yes, I like quotation marks. No, I can't accurately define a metaphor. Moving on ….) I guess I thought that sitting still and twisting string around sticks was a frivolous and irresponsible use of my time. I should have been more gentle and forgiving of myself and just knit and crochet to my heart's content, but I needed a different kind of accomplishment, a true sense of productivity.
didn't want to follow someone else's pattern to create someone else's thing. I wanted one of my own. Something I could use, could make exactly as I wanted, and could label mine. I wanted a market bag to beat all market bags with all the things that I wished mine had. I started on a pattern and made one that wasn't quite right and then the phone rang and I was employed and that was the end of it. (Run-on sentence. Check.)
OK, maybe that wasn't quite it. I might have also researched names, designed a logo and set the foundation for an etsy store. But that was all. No inventory, no sales, no need to call the accountant to ask, "Oh, by the way, do you handle sales taxes, too?" I put everything in place and then happily went to a job where other people deal with icky things like taxes.
But I never forgot it. The bag, not the store. I haven't forgotten that either, but it's a long way from fruition, so let's do forget about that for now. The bag was still on my mind and I'd think of patterns and colors and sizes and cutesy names and most of all what I think it should have. It should have a pouch for money and maybe a drivers license. It should have a tab to snap your keys when you don't have pockets in your yoga pants and just want to pick up some fruit on the way home. It should have a solid bottom so you can put in a couple of honeydews without worrying about the integrity of the bag. It should have a handle long enough to put over your shoulder and yet not so long that if you carry it in your hand, those honeydews are dragging the ground.
It should be pretty.
It should look something like this – the "This Little Piggy Market Bag" version 2.0. in "Tea Party." I'm never going to be one of those people who gets a fleece from a sheep farmer, washes it, cards it, spins it, plies it, designs a shawl or sweater pattern and knits it, then proudly wears it about town. That will never be me. For one thing, fleeces stink. For another, I just don't have that kind of time. But a string bag to carry to the Farmers Market that allows me to leave my purse in the trunk of the car and is my original design? That I can accomplish.

I've been gone for a while. Several times I've drafted out a post to explain why, but let's just say that during a certain period of time, knitting and the knitting community were not what I needed them to be. I could write a lot and I think some would find it gratifying and/or enlightening, but as Stephanie says, "We're listening." The post I'm not posting would beg to differ, but let's just all be polite and move on.
Anyway .... I hadn't been knitting for a very long time. Then one day a few weeks ago I was out on my balcony watering my flowers and my newish, rarely-seen neighbor came out to her balcony and we started talking and eventually she hopped the railing and shared a bottle of wine with me and we got to know each other. She's a knitter! That was all it took. Someone new to me who enjoys something that I had basically shoved into plastic bins in the basement got me to re-examine it. I've been re-examining a lot of things and not because I'm in one of those "how did I get into this mess" phases, but instead because I'm in one of those "Wow, I finally got to a good place" phases.
Things are going well in many realms and frankly ... I'm a bit giddy. I'm "present" enough to appreciate things that I used to, like photography and hiking and wrapping string around sticks. I even had the attention span to read Yarn Harlot straight through from Dec 2009 to the present. Suddenly I can fish a scarf out of the bottom of a basket and spend 10 minutes weaving in the ends to call it "finished." Suddenly I'm ... satisfied. As evidenced by my unexpected appearance at Knit Nite this week, I have no idea what's going on with anyone or how you are or what you're doing. Please fill me in. I'm here!
"Midwest Moonlight" from Scarf Style
3 balls of Nashua Creative Focus Worsted
Unblocked and I don't plan to.
Please pardon the messy balcony. I was more anxious to catch the light than to sweep first. :)

There's just something about certain projects, isn't there? When the yarn is perfect and pattern is perfect and the needles feel good in your hands .... This is one of those. It's for my sister - a scarf/wrap in the Snowdrift pattern, made with RYC Wool Silk DK, and I'm using my ebony Lantern Moon needles. OMG this feels so good to knit.
I say scarf/wrap because even with serious blocking I'm not sure if it will be wide enough to be called a wrap. The pattern recommends size 7 needles, but my twisted stitches just didn't have that pop that a line of twisted stitches should, and the purls were a little too loose to show off the details of the pattern, so I switched to 6s.
I'm doing a pattern repeat a day, so this xmas gift might be finished before Mother's Day. Is that a record? Do I get a prize? Anyway, I'm in love. Blissfully.

But I really, really, really wanted to shoot pictures of the finished Besotted Scarf against a bleak and snowy background, and since Mother Nature and I are *crosses fingers* like this, she let me have one last snowy morning.
Now it's early afternoon and already the snow is gone and the sky is blue and we're back to Spring. So ... forgiven?

Way back in 2005 I started on an afghan for the monk. It was an ambitious attempt, since I wanted the stripes to go lengthwise and to be long enough for his 6'6" frame.
Two years later, here is where it stood. Each stripe is a 32 row pattern, each single row taking me 15 minutes to complete. There are hours and hours and hours in this, crafted of wool/alpaca/silk yarn. It will never be finished. Why? Because 1) I don't deal with the monk anymore (and yes, I chose the word "deal" carefully, as all interaction with him seem to be some sort of transaction) and 2) Knitpicks doesn't make all of the colors anymore and I was buying them as I went along, planning to repeat the color sequence one more time.
That was two years ago. So ... what to do with it. I'm obviously not finishing it. Right now it's in a zippered plastic bag in a Marks & Spencer tote in the nether regions of my closet. I'm not even bothering to pull it out to photograph it again. The plan? Well, since there are three skeins of yarn in each stripe, I think I'm going to make scarves. And donate them. To charity. This yarn deserves better kharma than its original purpose.

Shedir is finished and awaiting transport. It was a great knit - fun and interesting but not too challenging - and showed me where I seriously need to improve my knitting skills.
My stitches are grossly uneven and before I attempt some fancy socks I've had my eye on I'm going to need more practice. Of course, knitting would be the way to practice so I should just knit them, right? Right.
Anyway, one attempt at comfort taken care of.
Unfortunately, the other can only be satisfied by prayers at this point. That girl I mentioned passed away yesterday. I never met her and don't remember speaking to her mother, but they were both very dear to my knitting circle and their pain is heavy on my heart today.
So, what to do? The only thing I can. Make you laugh.
What follows is how I spent last Friday evening. I'm not intentionally mocking my Mom here - we were all getting the hang of computers at some point. I did tell both my parents - when they were firing questions at me and not letting me finish a sentence - that they are worse than cardiologists, but that is because ... I love them? Anyway, enjoy:

So when the pattern said that it will use an entire ball with none left for swatching, I knew that it was unlikely and that I was going to need another ball. But I held hope. In vain. Got to row 66 of 83 and this is where I'll have to join a new one. The rest of the rows are the crown, so of course it will be all decreases and I'll use a fraction of the second ball, but that's OK. This is one of my favorite colors (periwinkle in case your monitor is lying) and I'll make something with the rest. Maybe matching ipod and cell phone sleeves or something.
I hear that. You're wondering about gauge. Well, to be honest ... no. Didn't check. But not because I'm stupid or lazy! There's no way I can knit this yarn (Rowan Calmer) on anything smaller than the 3s it's on, and I can't knit any tighter, either. That makes gauge a moot point, right? As in, no other options than what I've got? It's a one-size hat pattern, after all. And one size it shall be. This one.

For those of you who haven't heard, I'm job searching again. Though the new administration and promised funding will be great for the EMR industry, too many doctors had adopted a wait-and-see attitude, and no sales = no money. So, I was laid off, but amicably - I'll be free-lancing for them a bit until I find something new.
But, honestly, I can't even feel badly about it. Too many horrible things are happening to too many people in the world for me to be upset that I can't shop anymore. Friends of friends have daughters in ICUs awaiting lung transplants and relatives of friends have ovarian cancer and I can't even go into the devastation in Australia and other parts of the world. Being jobless just isn't that awful. Yet.
I keep seeing questions about what my ideal career path would be and what my dream job would be like. I just end up thinking, "Does it matter? Would you pay me what I want to make to do what I want to do? No. So stop rubbing it in." What would I do, you ask, tentatively? Dig wells in Africa. That job doesn't pay very well. I assume. They don't list jobs like that on Monster, either.
So, the best I can do is be supportive to those who need it and reorganize my closets now that I have the time and maybe catch up on my reading or any other free activities. And knit. This is a chemo cap for tragically-blogless Anna's MIL. There's a young woman in an ICU bed, as well, who is collecting paper cranes. As you pray for a seemingly unending list of those in need, please think of them, too.

The government of Phoenix, Ariz., has been attracting a lot of attention lately. In an international competition to recognize the best-run city government in the world, Phoenix was awarded the Carl Bertelsmann Prize, sharing the top prize of $180,000 with Christchurch, New Zealand. Phoenix was also recognized as the best-managed of the nation's 30 largest cities by Financial World and was the only competitor to receive a straight-A report card in the annual "State of the Cities" rankings. And in a survey of Phoenix residents, the city government earned an 81 percent approval rating.
How many companies would score that high if they polled their customers?
The Vision Thing How does a city government become not just good, but the best? With Phoenix, it begins with a clear vision that employees have embraced. "We are dedicated to serving our customers," the vision statement starts. "We succeed by focusing our attention on the customer. The city exists to serve the customer and our community. Their needs give us our direction and purpose."
Here are some other excerpts:
* We work as a team. Teamwork is the basis of our success. We use cooperation as our first tool in working with others. We view successful performance as a group activity. There is nothing we cannot accomplish together.
* We each do all we can.
* We each have the opportunity and responsibility to develop and use our skills to the highest level.
* We learn, change, and improve. We are open to new methods and we listen and learn from others.
* We focus on results. Each of us knows the level of our customer satisfaction, our response time in delivering services, and the cost of those services.
* We work with integrity. Whenever we make a decision, provide a service, or deal with customers, we act with honesty and integrity. People learn from interacting with us that they can continue to trust us. We treat all people equally and equitably.
* We make Phoenix better. Improving transportation, the environment, public safety, educational opportunities, and other parts of our community is the reason we come to work each day.
Walk the Talk Far from being a dusty document, the city of Phoenix's vision and values statement is put into practice daily. Its employee suggestion program has received national awards for the most dollar savings per employee among all state and local governments. The "working with others " part of the statement is evidenced through "Passport to the City," which allows graduates of the City of Phoenix Supervisory Academy to meet other supervisors and rotate the departments in which they work. And there's more.
The strongest evidence that this approach is working has been the honors the city has received as "the best-run government in the world."
1. Start with a vision--Create a vision with your employees about what you want to be. Not only will this increase your chances of getting there, the process will lead to greater commitment and sense of ownership among your employees.
2. Allow people to connect--"I was amazed at the diversity of work city employees do," says Phoenix's Aquatics Maintenance Coordinator Sylvan Kinney. "The program gave me a greater understanding of other departments."
3. Develop your management team--Include management in learning and development opportunities and programs. They need to stretch and grow as much as anyone.

too much stretch
By no name
from calgary
i have had Roxannes in the past and much preferred the older ones.I have had the new ones for two weeks, washed them once and did not put them in the dryer and they have already stretched out.On the positive side they are extremely comfortable and i live the dark denim but i would not buy them again as the fit is not good.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Love this fit!
By Anne
from Charleston, SC
Love the Roxanne. It has changed over the last couple years. It is a tighter fit, more like a legging...except for the pant legs. Loved the older version and the newer fit as well. Only thing is I had the legs tailored to fit like a tighter skinny beause I much prefer the fit of the Roxanne over the fit of the other skinny jeans!!

I love these pants. They are the most comfortable jeans i ever bought. The color is dark and classic. They are very flattering. I am 120 pounds and i always wear 24 size in skinny jeans and these fit perfectly. They have a good stretch even though they look small.

The old 7 Roxanne mercer jeans were my favorite and I owned at least 10 pairs over the last 6 years. 7 has changed their jeans to be softer and have more stretch, which I find unflattering. I want my jeans to look tailored and support my body.

My dream of a West Regional foursome of Wichita State, La Salle, Harvard and Iowa State came only half true.
Los Angeles fell two underdogs short from hitting for the Cinderella cycle.
More than Coach K calling a timeout, or Kansas Coach Bill Self's perfectly coiffed hair, these are the story lines that make the NCAA tournament the best reality show on television.
FGCU is not an eye-examination test — it is one of 16 schools left in an NCAA tournament that started with 68 on Tuesday.
The Eagles defeated San Diego State to become the first 15th-seeded school to make the Sweet 16.
That earned Florida Gulf Coast a South Regional pairing Friday against powerhouse Florida.
"We're doing something special out there," Florida Gulf Coast guard Sherwood Brown said. "We've been told that this is what college basketball is about."
Locally, we could have had Shockers, Explorers, Crimson and Cyclones under one roof at Staples Center. Laws would have needed to be enacted to curtail the paparazzi.
The aggregate seeding number of Wichita, La Salle, Harvard and Iowa State would have been a staggering 46.
But, alas, No.6 Arizona sent No.14 Harvard back to its yard Saturday night in Salt Lake City.
And Sunday, a botched official's call in Dayton helped derail No.10 Iowa State's upset chances against No.2 Ohio State.
An Iowa State victory would have left the West Regional bracket in tatters without its top-five seeded schools.
This possibly could have led to picking next year's NCAA tournament out of a hat, which might have more sense this year than a selection committee.
Purists probably rejoiced when Aaron Craft's last second three-pointer lifted Ohio State to its victory.
I had looked forward to reading the "Farmers' Almanac" with fine folks from Ames.
The West ended up providing something for everyone. You get half a bracket of basketball pedigree — Ohio State vs. Arizona — and a manager's underdog special with No. 9 Wichita State vs. No. 13 La Salle.
The West Regional perfectly represents the wide-openness of this year's tournament.
A No. 16 did not pull off the seminal upset, falling to 0-116 in the overall series, although Southern came very close against Gonzaga.
True underdogs mix with pedigreed types in wide-open NCAA tournament
West Regional teams to play at Staples Center include mostly expected (Ohio State, Arizona) and very unexpected (Wichita State, La Salle). Then there's Florida Gulf Coast, the first No. 15 to make Sweet 16.

Went on a trip to Nice recently and discovered Socca, an amazing pancake-type food made basically only using water, oil, salt, and garbanzo bean flour. It's amazing! This flour is great, and iHerb was fast and reliable.

Time Warner Cable said it would boost the maximum download speed for its standard Internet service by 50 percent in Maine and other markets.
The areas to be boosted to 15 megabits per second (Mbps) from 10 Mbps for its most popular level of service
"Standard Internet is our most popular Internet service because it's ideal for everyday use, watching videos online, downloading apps, online banking and definitely for online holiday shopping," said Carol Hevey, executive vice president of operations for Time Warner Cable's East Region.
"And now that our maximum download speed for standard Internet is 50 percent faster, customers can have a better Internet experience on all their devices."
Standard Internet customers will receive the faster speeds automatically this month. Customers who want the faster service immediately can get it by pushing the "reset" button on their modems, or by unplugging the power cord from the modem for 10 seconds, plugging it back in and then
rebooting the computer, Time Warner Cable said.
Time Warner Cable declined to comment on how many customers subscribe to its standard service. Customers spend about $54.99 a month for standard Internet, the company previously said.
In October, Time Warner Cable said it would begin charging Internet customers across New England, New York and the Carolinas an Internet modem lease fee of $3.95 a month. Customers can continue to lease their modems from Time Warner Cable and pay the monthly fee, or they can buy modems from retailers to avoid the monthly expense.

From journal A wander round the sights and smells of Marrakech
by MichaelJM
Nottingham, England
November 27, 2004
The first thing that will strike you as you enter the small, but well-kept grounds to the tombs is the absolute calm. It is hard to place yourself in the bustling city because here the only noise is that of the tourists, both human and bird. You will also see cats prowling the grounds, as this is a haven for Marrakech's wild cats. Don't worry, they're small!
There are three distinct burial areas. One is a sole tomb. I'd like to assume that this contains the remains of al-Mansour, as it would be befitting that the mausoleum's designer should have pride of place. The second area has been dedicated to the women of the family–initially it appears as an adjunct to the first tomb, but on reflection, it is in a prominent place in the garden. This open-sided building is incredibly ornate, with brightly tiled walls and highly polished marble tiled floor. The appearance of being open to the elements under a high, protective roof provides a real sense of freedom with the boundaries defined, but a real connection with the outdoor garden space.
In contrast to this light, bright space is the dark and restricted area that was reserved for the male successors of al-Mansour and the children. The more open space was reserved, by and large, for the royal children, and it is somewhat chilling to see the small headstones signifying the child deaths in this powerful Saadian dynasty. Typically the building is decorated with intricate stuccowork above a bright mosaic. The superb geometric decorative work extends to the brightly floor and encloses the stark marble pyramid type structure that mark the graves.
At either end and to the rear of this room are darker spaces accessed by the classical, highly decorated tall archways. The tiled theme seemed to run through to these darker niches, confirming that the designer was anticipating the future needs of his dynasty!
All the guidebook references seem to imply that there has been little restoration applied to this building, and it is referred to as the "best surviving example of Moorish craftsmen from Al-Andalus." It certainly is impressive and perhaps the fact that it was sealed for two centuries has assisted its survival. It is indeed a great tribute that will command your admiration and reverence.
From journal A long weekend in Marrakesh

You may spot the minaret of the Kasbah Mosque, which was the personal mosque of the Sultan. The minaret, located at the northwest corner of the mosque, is plastered orange and features some nice tilework. It may be seen as a stylistic cousin to the great Koutoubia minaret.
The path to the tombs is a mysterious, dark and narrow path alongside one of the mosque walls. Once you get to the main courtyard, you will then branch off towards various rooms housing about a hundred tombs. The two main mausoleums house 66 royal Saadian tombs. The first room after the entrance is the resting place for the Sultan's mother. The next room is the lavishly decorated Hall of the Twelve Columns, housing various tombs raised above a floor of polished marble. The Sultan's sarcophagus, elegantly carved and shaped with a long narrow ridge at the top, has the nicest mosaic tilework. Another room contains the tombs of his wives, concubines, and many of his children (though not all of them). The more elaborate the tomb, the higher the status of the person. There are also many unmarked flat "tombstones" that look like rectangular sections of colored tile floors. The rooms housing the tombs are dimly lit, but with enough daylight you can take some wonderful photographs of these richly ornamented spaces. Note the use of materials like dark wood, milky-hued marble, and swirling colored zellij tiles.
The main courtyard has a pleasantly peaceful atmosphere, with some greenspace surrounding the unsheltered tombstones. You will probably encounter lots of cuddly stray cats in the courtyard, but watch out! Above as an overactive bird that may poop on you!

Please note that visiting gravesites is a taboo for Moroccan and Islamic culture, so it is kind if you dress conservatively and be silent.

The necropolis lay semi-forgotten until early C20 when a French aerial map identified the hidden passageway which gave access from the kasbah mosque. Now restored, it seems to be the city's "must-sees" and is consequently very busy with tour parties; but, no matter, it is spectacular sight – 66 Saadians are buried under two of the three main structures and there are child graves liberally scattered everyone; the third of the buildings (called the Hall of the Twelve Columns) contains the leading members of the family. It's quite exhaustive in its detail and decoration--the zellij-covered tiled tombs are unfortunately quite dark and you can't really appreciate the inner carvings of the doorway arches (see below).
The former compulsory guided tours have been suspended so you can wander about or sit towards the back next to the high walls where you can be shaded with shrubs and palms and bright flowers, admiring the dotted tomb tiling.
Daily 9am-5pm; 10dh.

Mifepristone Medication Abortion Services at Planned Parenthood
Open Letter to Planned Parenthood Clients from PPFA Vice President of Medical Affairs, Vanessa Cullins, MD, MPH
Planned Parenthood has learned this week that a woman who underwent medication abortion died several days after the procedure. We also learned that a second woman died weeks after a procedure, and we are seeking additional information about these tragic events.
To put this in context, since September 2000, when medication abortion was approved by the FDA, 560,000 medication abortions have occurred in the U.S. We know of seven deaths of women who had mifepristone medication abortions in North America. At this time, none of those deaths have been directly attributed to mifepristone. One additional death involved a woman with an undiagnosed, untreated ectopic pregnancy, a dangerous condition that mifepristone does not treat.
At Planned Parenthood we continuously evaluate medical information and medical studies to ensure that our services are based on the best science available. Our National Medical Committee has closely monitored medication abortion services since we began providing them in January 2001. It is our goal to provide you with the highest quality health care. To provide the very best care to you, our patients, Planned Parenthood has decided to update our protocol for medication abortion, effective immediately.
The health and safety of our patients are Planned Parenthood's top priorities. If you are a woman undergoing mifepristone medication abortion at a Planned Parenthood health center, you should attend scheduled follow-up appointments and contact us at any time with questions or concerns. When choosing mifepristone medication abortion at one of our health centers, you received extensive education and counseling on the method, what to expect, and whom to contact with any concern at any time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Planned Parenthood medical professionals are available around the clock if you need to speak with someone.
For nearly 90 years, Planned Parenthood has provided women, men and teens with high-quality health care services. We constantly evaluate medical studies to ensure that our services are based on the best science available.
The full range of reproductive health care, including abortion services, are available to women who need them. Please contact us at 1-800-230-PLAN (7526) to be connected to the Planned Parenthood nearest you.

Heartwarming Time-Lapse Shows a Day of Play Between Father and Son
Emio Tomeoni often plays with his toddler son Xavier while his wife Stephanie is at work, due to her often irregular hours. Recently, he decided that instead of simply telling his wife what transpired over the course of a day, he would show her through pictures — many, many pictures.
Tomeoni set up a camera in the corner of his living room and created a time-lapse video of a day of their play, showing himself and Xavier moving about the room, tinkering with different toys and structures, and enjoying hours of loving merrymaking.

The most disgusting thing I ever stepped in barefoot was a large (4"?) tomato hornworm. I could feel it pop.
The bathroom is on the opposite end of the apartment from the living room. Mom could smell it out where she was watching tv. Good job! I went to my friends house earlier for supper. What started out as a harmless night of fun, wound up leading to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRAYccnyfkYWARNING. This video is for the hard core gross out fanatics.
Quote from: Dr. F. on January 14, 2013, 04:02:44 PMThe most disgusting thing I ever stepped in barefoot was a large (4"?) tomato hornworm. I could feel it pop.Big slugs. They pop AND they're slimy. It takes a whole lot of scrubbing to get slug slime off of your bare foot. I no longer go outside barefoot after dark.
Worst thing to step on barefoot? One of those huge 'palmetto bugs' or 'tree roaches' or whatever you call the aircraft carrier sized things that infest most of the south. We'd had a bad storm and they were retreating inside wherever they could, and I woke up, half asleep, and crunch. Still gives me the heebie jeebies thinking about that crunch-squish-slither sensation.... and then having to hose my foot off.
The piercing thread reminded me of something that probably makes me a little bit wrong. I took great pleasure in turning my earrings when they were first pierced and they'd get a bit stuck which meant there was gunk I could pick off either the hole or the earring. My bellybutton ring still gets dead skin accumulating on it so I take it out every couple of weeks for a good picking.
Try this: Wearing sweatpants, and one crawls up inside...INSIDE.. the pant leg. Fastest my pants have EVER come off.
QuoteTry this: Wearing sweatpants, and one crawls up inside...INSIDE.. the pant leg. Fastest my pants have EVER come off.Maybe this also belongs in the "Things that Sound Dirty but Aren't" thread?
The piercing thread also reminded me of the grossness that occurred when I got my second ear piercing. I get the piercing, with 14K gold studs, very clean, no problem. A few hours later, I notice my earlobes itch. I looked in the mirror and there was a giant swelling covering the earring on each ear. The swelling had a crust over it, and I had to force the earring through and remove it. It took weeks to heal.
